One of the main contributors to Arlington’s dynamic population growth has been the continuous expansion of freeway systems in the DFW metroplex. Arlington is located along I-30, the main thoroughfare that connects Dallas and Fort Worth. Over the last 5 years, Central Arlington has recorded an average annual rent growth of 6.2 percent, with revenue growth increasing at a similar 6.4 percent. Vineyards at Arlington has nearly doubled the market’s performance, with a 12 percent year over year rental increase since 2014. Much of the high demand can be attributed to the Property’s strong location with frontage on 2 major thoroughfares, and just 1 mile southeast of the SH-360 and Spur 303 intersection that accommodates over 190,000 vehicles per day. Proximity to these major thoroughfares allows residents immediate access to some of the largest employment and service facilities the metroplex has to offer such as: Arlington Entertainment District, The GM Assembly Plant, Great Southwest Industrial Park, University of Texas at Arlington, and the Medical Center of Arlington.
